KARACHI (Dunya News) – Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) on Saturday has developed policy guidelines regarding the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) powers and provincial autonomy. The move comes as Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif advised NAB to act responsibly while PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari supporting the PM’s stance had also lambasted the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).

According the details, PPP has stated that a strong reaction will be shown in case NAB or FIA exceeded its limits. PPP leadership has stated that FIA should also be stopped from interfering in provincial matters.

The PPP leadership has stated that it can extend its conditional support if government decides to introduce any amendments in laws regarding NAB and FIA’s interference in provincial autonomy.

The party’s leadership said that the matter of exceeding limitations by both NAB and FIA should now be brought to its logical conclusion. It stated that both agencies’ powers should be limited as such that there was no hurdle in provincial autonomy.

Sources say that PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto and Zardari have advised PPP’s legal experts to update themselves on NAB issue.
